By Shane Addinall Feb 14, 2021 IndustryThe Swedish Gambling Industry is thriving with players cashing in big wins and satisfaction levels only rising. 2020 becomes a year recorded for the millions in wins paid rather than remembered for the COVID-19 pandemic.The Swedish Gambling industry has had quite a satisfactory year for 2020 with consumer satisfaction at an all-time high.
It was a year of big winnings with Svenska Spel distributing 455 million winnings to lucky players.
For Swedish gamblers, 2020 will not be the year of the pandemic, but rather a year of record-breaking profits.
Svenska Spel’s Historic Profits
The year 2020 is one filled with dark memories for many especially with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It was also the year that over 400 Swedes experienced the thrill of the flashing lights announcing them as winners.
For these players 2020 will always be the year they won the highest prize at Svenska Spel and turned into millionaires.
Svenska Spel awarded 455 million winnings throughout the year which was 156 more than awarded in 2019. The value is over SEK 1.8 billion (EUR 178m).
On top of that, the Swedish Quality Index (Svenskt Kvalitetsindex) reported that the Swedish gaming industry reached a consumer satisfaction of 64.0% in 2020.
This is all due to the major improvements which were put into place. Plans for 2021 and the years ahead include calling upon operators to continue taking responsibility not just for their development but for the gaming market as well.
Annual Reports on Jackpots and Wins
The annual reports released by both Svenska Spel Tur and Svenska Spel Sport & Casino is an entertaining read considering the number of wins that dropped throughout the year.
For Svenska Spel Tur it was a proper record year in terms of winnings with the Lotto dream win falling four times. In connection to this, 33 extra million was distributed in the Million Rain and another 15 extra million in the Second Chance after the Dream Win.
Furthermore, the Eurojackpot fell twice in Sweden with the top ten list of biggest wins handed out by Svenska Spel Tur including wins ranging from 21.7 million to 141.2 million kronor.
As for Svenska Spel Sport & Casino, the experience was on par with wins awarded totalling 85 million. This is a massive increase from the 44 million awarded the year before. The most wins were obtained from the classic Stryktipset game and totalled 47 million, meaning there was almost one win per week. What makes things even more interesting is that there was a period of up to 13 weeks throughout spring where Svenska Spel could not offer any games on Stryktipset. Even with a pause period taken into consideration, there was still 30 million more profit made than the year before.
It was also the year with the highest win of all-time awarded to a Stockholm player. The man won an impressive SEK 5,707,925 playing Europatipset. Svenska Spel Sport & Casino’s online sector also distributed a record win of SEK 28,131,751 to another Stockholm player.
Responsible Winning
Svenska Spel is not just eager to award players but determined to help them navigate the water with the sudden big wins falling into their laps.
Any winner suddenly pocketing millions will get a call from the winning communicators who are there to assist in answering any questions. For those who win more than SEK 5 million financial and legal advice is offered regarding the payment of the profits.
You get to play and win responsibly making the most of the gambling experience as a Swedish Casino player.
